Govt. asks for changing KESC MD

The MD himself seems to have no clue about resolving KESC crisis. Why is he the MD and earning 15 Lakh rupees per month? I think if he and other high earning personnel in KESC declare that they would only be taking nominal salaries per month till the crisis is resolved, then the crisis would be resolved in a few months. Shariah does not allow such luxurious life styles on nation's expenses.

KARACHI: The government taking notice of the lingering electricity crisis has issued a directive for a change of the KESC Managing Director.

Ministry of water and power sources said that the Prime Minister, Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, while taking notice of the ongoing electricity crisis in Karachi, has asked the Board of Directors of the Company to change their existing MD Amjad Hussain.

In this backdrop, it is anticipated that the KESC senior most engineer and existing Director Distribution and Networking, Tanzim Naqvi would be elevated to the post of MD in the next few days. On the other hand, KESC MD expressing his ignorance about this said that he was appointed MD for three years. The MD receiving Rs1.5 million per month salary said that if anyone could turnaround the KESC financial situation better in one month, then he would himself resign.
